Dear All,
Please read the attached case study.
We will do some workout/exercise/brainstorming on this subject later to understand the concept better
Case Study: The Girl, the Old Man, and the Sailor…
On a beautiful and sunny day five people boarded a boat for an afternoon cruise: A girl, her fiance, her fiance’s best friend, an old man, and a sailor.A sudden storm blew in sinking the boat.The five passengers were forced into two smaller boats to survive.In one boat was the girl, the old man, and the sailor.In the other boat was the girl’s fiance and his best friend.
The boats were separated in the swirl of the storm.The boat with the girl, the old man and the sailor ended up on one island and the boat with the fiance and his best friend on another island.The girl was distraught being away from her fiance and kept searching the horizon looking for him.They knew there was another island nearby but the boat would need to be fixed to get to it.She went to the sailor and asked him to fix the boat so she could be reunited with her fiance.The sailor agreed to fix the boat but only on the condition the girl sleep with him that night.
The girl did not know what to do so she went to the old man for advice.The old man listened to her and then said, “I cannot tell you what you should do.Follow what your heart tells you.”Confused and desperate she agreed to the sailor’s condition.
After the sailor fixed the boat they sailed and reached the other island.The girl was very happy to see her fiance and rushed into his arms.He was very happy to see her and she then told him about sleeping with the sailor to get there.The fiance became very angry and brushed her aside saying, “I never want to see you again.” Crying profusely the girl began walking down the beach. The fiance’s best friend followed her, and after about a quarter of a mile, came to her and said, “I know you two have had a quarrel. I will try to work it out, but in the meantime I will take care of you.”
